Can you make one for Autumn?

It would take a lot of effort and frankly the level of interest in ATS mods is a lot less than ETS2.

To be honest this mod doesn’t get a lot of downloads, although I might update it in December.

I wonder, where the Mild Winter Mod is? I used it for a long time now, but after all, it is not working with the 1.29 update also. What can be done to update it? 😉

Great mod! can you put in a physics mod to make it more slippery like you did in ETS2?

Would you consider making the Heavy Winter Addon and Physics Addon for ATS? Physics has been asked I know and saw the reply you gave.
I know what you said that there is not many people enjoying it and it is a lot of work, but I know I would appreciate it if it would be possible to get those addons for ATS as well.
If not totally understanding it, but doesn’t hurt to ask 😉

The ETS2 physics mod might work ok with ATS, I don’t really want to do Heavy Winter for ATS at the moment because it’s a bit too much for those southern states.

ok totally understand where you are coming from, thx for the answer

Can’t you make it where the snow only appears in the north? BTW, love this plug in and have it on both ATS and ETS 2…. I also have the physics mode and heavy winteradd ons as well. I feature on my youtube channel. I wish you wouold do a heavy winter add on and physics mod too for ATS

The same assets are used in different parts of the map which is why you can’t have snow in some places and not in others, not sure about heavy winter as I don’t want to have too much snow in ATS as it only features southerly desert states at the moment.

I had the original mild winter, which I like and I like this also. The snow is cool!
Just one thing I would like, and that’s bring back proper darkness. When ETS2 first launched, for the first time ever it was properly dark at night, so that without lights on you couldn’t see anything. Now with ATS and successive updates, it keeps getting lighter at night again so that now it’s hardly dark at all. On your mod, as expected, it gets dark earlier and light again later in the morning, but the middle part of the night to me always looks (as in ATS un-modified) like bright full moon. Most of the time, it’s not that light – especially in cloudy weather.
Early on in ETS2 I made a mod for headlights so the AI headlights illuminate the road properly – and on unlit roads in the first ETS2 you needed that as you couldn’t see beyond the car you were following, otherwise. Now, I still put that mod out for ATS but it’s hardly needed 😦
I did take a look at the climate files thinking to alter the light values for myself, but as usual all the values are like
diffuse[0]: (&3d332380, &3d6cc564, &3d810b66)
and I have no idea what those “&garbage” values are or how to change them so as to make it darker. This is a problem often in ETS2/ATS where in fact I know that those are just 3 numeric values, for RGB, but I don’t have any reference to tell me how to adjust them.
LikeLike
With winter mods it will be brighter at night than normal because of the reflective nature of the landscape, the values you mentioned are hex numbers, the ones to change are the 2nd and 3rd, so for example to reduce the diffuse light value by 4 you would change them to
diffuse[0]: (&3d032380, &3d2cc564, &3d410b66)
by 8
diffuse[0]: (&3cc32380, &3cecc564, &3d00b66)
You can mess around with these until you get the light settings you want.
